From the Author:

Insights about doing what you love and loving what you do
Are you seeking more meaning, purpose, and joy in your work? If you are, then TRUE WORK offers you a rich tapestry of inspiration and practical guidance based on our life experience of manifesting our dream over the past twenty-five years. Our passion is speaking with others about their passion through dialogues that are broadcast on the radio. This has provided an extraordinary opportunity to gather a wealth of ideas and wisdom from many of the leading thinkers, social innovators, creative artists, scientists, and spiritual teachers who have been following their passion. TRUE WORK reflects the hands-on, nitty gritty process of living your dream on a daily basis and encompasses the insights gleaned from exemplars ranging from H.H.the Dalai Lama, the late mythologist Joseph Campbell, inventor and scientist R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller to activist Alice Walker, phycician Deepak Chopra, and philosopher Sir Laurens van der Post plus many others. Whether you are seeking to enhance creative expression in your present work situation or want to expand your horizons into new areas of work, TRUE WORK is an opportunity to reflect upon and examine your daily labor in the context of how it is or is not sustaining your soul life.
